Part of the Case Repair Manuals.
The hitch sags with the mower lifted, or the 385 cranks and cranks while the hay is ready to bale. This is the Case factory service manual for the 85 Series tractors. It comes as separate sections: engine, Bosch VE and VA injection pumps, electrical, steering, power train, brakes, hydraulics and the XL cab.
Most jobs stall for want of one number, like the steering relief pressure or the hot valve clearance. Those numbers are in here. Section 8001 adds a full hydraulic schematic with 13 numbered test points. There are also wiring diagrams for the charging, lighting and powershift circuits.
The spec tables cover the 385 and 485, not the 395 or 495. Find the fault, set it to spec, and have the tractor pulling again before the weather turns.
